Quick Burger-Inspired Tortilla Wraps (Printable Format)

All the flavors of the classic fast food burger in an easy-to-make wrap with homemade special sauce and seasoned ground beef.

# What You'll Gather:

→ For the Special Sauce

01 - ½ cup mayonnaise
02 - 2 tablespoons finely chopped dill pickles
03 - 1 tablespoon yellow mustard
04 - 1 teaspoon white vinegar
05 - 1 teaspoon paprika
06 - ¼ teaspoon garlic powder
07 - ¼ teaspoon onion powder

→ For the Wraps

08 - 1 pound lean ground beef
09 - ½ cup finely chopped onion
10 - Salt and pepper to taste
11 - 4 large flour tortillas
12 - 1 cup shredded lettuce
13 - 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
14 - Dill pickle slices (I love adding these for that classic Big Mac crunch)
15 - 1 tablespoon olive oil

# Step-by-Step Instructions:

01 - Mix all the sauce ingredients together in a bowl - that's your mayo, chopped pickles, yellow mustard, vinegar, paprika, garlic powder and onion powder. Give it a good stir until everything's well combined and it looks creamy. Pop it in the fridge while you handle the rest of the prep.
02 - Heat up your skillet with the olive oil over medium heat. Toss in the chopped onions and let them cook until they're soft and starting to look translucent. Add your ground beef, breaking it up with a spatula into small crumbles as it cooks. Season with a pinch of salt and some black pepper. Keep cooking until the beef is nicely browned with no pink left. Drain off any extra grease - nobody wants soggy wraps!
03 - Give your tortillas a quick warm-up either in the microwave for 10-15 seconds, or in a dry skillet for a few seconds on each side. This makes them more flexible and less likely to tear when you're wrapping.
04 - Lay out a warm tortilla and spread a couple tablespoons of your special sauce right down the middle. Spoon about a quarter of the beef mixture on top of the sauce. Then pile on some shredded lettuce, a sprinkle of cheddar cheese, and a few pickle slices if you're using them.
05 - Now for the wrapping! Fold in both sides of the tortilla, then fold up the bottom and roll it forward, tucking in the sides as you go to make a tight wrap. If it helps, you can fold it like a burrito - sides in, bottom up, then roll forward.
06 - Cut your wraps in half diagonally if you want them easier to handle (and to show off those pretty layers). Serve them up right away while they're still warm and the cheese is a bit melty. Grab some napkins - these can get a little messy, but that's part of the fun!

# Important Tips:

01 - This recipe makes enough for 4 hearty wraps, perfect for a family dinner or meal prep for the week.
02 - You can customize your wraps by adding extras like tomato slices, bacon bits, or even a middle layer of tortilla for that iconic Big Mac middle bun.
03 - The special sauce keeps well in the fridge for about a week, so feel free to make extra for dipping fries or topping other sandwiches.
